Sustainable development is perceived as a complex concept because of the south-north, north-north and south-south divide. The various perspectives on this subject are embedded in people's own beliefs or interests regarding what sustainable development (SD) means to them. No wonder SD is viewed by politicians as community projects; by business as goods and profits; by environmentalists as a means of enabling efficient use of natural resources; and by the masses as a means of meeting their basic needs and as a strategy for poverty alleviation. Although indigenous knowledge - whether called scientific or non-scientific knowledge - enables people to address their diverse ills (challenges) in society, sometimes it is marginalized in education because it is seen as non-scientific and non-engaging in formal education. Using the capability approach to human development, this paper investigates the link between indigenous knowledge and sustainable development and proposes a better framework for understanding these concepts in development processes.
由于南北、北北和南南的分歧,可持续发展被认为是一个复杂的概念。关于这个问题的各种观点都植根于人们对可持续发展对他们意味着什么的信念或兴趣中。难怪SD被政治家视为社区项目;以商业作为商品和利润;环保人士将其作为有效利用自然资源的一种手段;作为满足群众基本需要的手段和减轻贫困的战略。尽管土著知识——无论是被称为科学知识还是非科学知识——使人们能够解决他们在社会中的各种弊病(挑战),但有时它在教育中被边缘化,因为它被视为非科学和不参与正规教育。本文利用人类发展的能力方法,研究了土著知识与可持续发展之间的联系,并提出了一个更好的框架来理解发展过程中的这些概念。

The article is based on a study which was aimed at enriching the physical education curriculum with indigenous Zulu games for the promotion of cross-cultural interaction between the learners in the multicultural classroom. Therefore, it was necessary to assess these indigenous Zulu games' potential in obtaining overt educational outcomes related to the cognitive, affective, psychomotor and social development of the learners. Quantitative and qualitative data were triangulated to constitute context and gather data from isiZuluspeaking participants (N=274). A sample of 217 grade seven learners and 57 adults participated in the research. The dissemination and presentation of indigenous Zulugames as means for reaching educational outcomes hold significant potential and valuefor curriculum enrichment and social inclusion in the South African school context. Keywords : Indigenous Zulu games, physical education, cross-cultural interaction. Indilinga Vol. 6 (2) 2007 pp. 143-151
本文是基于一项研究,旨在丰富体育课程中土著祖鲁游戏,以促进多元文化课堂中学习者之间的跨文化互动。因此,有必要评估这些土著祖鲁游戏在获得与学习者的认知、情感、心理运动和社会发展相关的公开教育成果方面的潜力。定量和定性数据进行三角化处理,以构成背景,并收集isizulusspeak参与者(N=274)的数据。217名七年级学生和57名成年人参与了这项研究。传播和呈现土著祖鲁游戏作为达到教育成果的手段,对南非学校的课程丰富和社会包容具有巨大的潜力和价值。关键词:祖鲁土著游戏,体育教育,跨文化互动。印染第6卷(2)2007页143-151

The Durban beachfront is enriched by the presence of the isiZulu Women beadmakers. Their colourful array of beaded items (products) are skillfully made by them and then sold to locals and tourists. What is interesting is the social dynamics of sharing and learning the skill and knowledge of beading that is evident among these women. We asked three women to be volunteers in this research as we were interested in exploring their processes of learning beading. We used a naturalistic, interpretive qualitataive case study approach to give meaning to the experiences that each women had. The data collection methods included semi-structured interviews and visual data (photographs of the products). The qualitative data collected for the research was analysed using an ongoingprocess of inductive analysis. The findings reveal that their experience of making beadeditems moved from an essential historico-socio-cultural one to an essential socio-culturoeconomic one. What was very significant was the intense social learning that took place among the women, in a casual, free and high spirited manner. Sharing and learning was so necessary and acceptable Keywords : Beading, social learning, historico-socio-cultural, socio-culturoeconomic Indilinga Vol. 6 (2) 2007 pp. 87-101
德班的海滨因isiZulu妇女头饰制造者的出现而变得丰富多彩。他们技艺娴熟地制作出五颜六色的串珠物品(产品),然后卖给当地人和游客。有趣的是,在这些妇女中,分享和学习串珠技能和知识的社会动力是显而易见的。我们邀请了三位女性志愿者参与这项研究,因为我们对探索她们学习串珠的过程很感兴趣。我们使用了一种自然的、解释性的定性案例研究方法来赋予每个女性的经历以意义。数据收集方法包括半结构化访谈和视觉数据(产品照片)。为研究收集的定性数据使用持续的归纳分析过程进行分析。研究结果表明,他们制作头饰的经验从基本的历史-社会-文化经验转变为基本的社会-文化-经济经验。非常重要的是,女性之间以一种随意、自由和昂扬的方式进行了强烈的社会学习。关键词:串词,社会学习,历史-社会-文化,社会-文化-经济印迪林加Vol. 6 (2) 2007 pp. 87-101

This paper is an attempt to re-examine a culturally located social schema of ubuntuism. Ubuntuism is a moral philosophy of traditional African societies. To put the paper into perspective, first, a conceptual analysis of ubuntu is presented. This analysis providesunderstanding of the concept in ways that facilitate readers to develop an appreciation ofthe moral philosophy that bound together traditional African communities. The purpose forre-examining the concept of ubuntuism is presented so as to stimulate awareness of howand why traditional African communities maintained high moral standards rather thanadvocating a return to the past African living style. Romanticism of ubuntuism in the general practice of cultural values is presented next, drawing examples from successful areas where cooperative activities were conducted. Later, the bad effects of the influence of westernization are presented showing that the values initially perceived as modernizationlater turned to be a weapon that promoted the perpetuation of individualism, greedy,and erosion of some traditional African cultural values leading to moral decadence insome citizens. Blending of modernization and ubuntuism is later presented with the hopethat the blending may reduce the social evils such as crime, corruption, and treatment ofthe HIV/Aids scourge that are prevalent in some African countries with a united front.Resuscitating ubuntuism in the young generation is presented towards the end of thepaper through promotion of cooperation among students learning subjects using localcontexts. The conclusion of the paper focuses on some challenges that future discourseon ubuntuism could focus on and the implications of the paper to African educators on thecontinent. Keywords : Ubuntuism, moral philosophy, individualism. Indilinga Vol. 6 (2) 2007 pp. 152-163
本文试图重新审视一种文化定位的社会图式。优分主义是非洲传统社会的一种道德哲学。首先,对ubuntu的概念进行了分析。这种分析提供了对这个概念的理解,以促进读者对将传统非洲社区联系在一起的道德哲学的欣赏。提出重新审视“优分主义”概念的目的是为了激发人们对传统非洲社区如何以及为什么保持高道德标准的认识,而不是提倡回到过去的非洲生活方式。接下来介绍了文化价值实践中的浪漫主义,并从成功开展合作活动的领域中举例说明。后来,西方化影响的不良影响被呈现出来,最初被视为现代化的价值观后来变成了一种武器,促进了个人主义的延续,贪婪,侵蚀了一些传统的非洲文化价值观,导致一些公民的道德堕落。现代化和优分主义的融合后来被提出,希望通过统一战线来减少社会弊病,如犯罪、腐败和艾滋病的治疗,这些弊病在一些非洲国家普遍存在。在论文的最后,通过促进学生在本地语境下学习科目之间的合作,提出了在年轻一代中复苏的ubuntu主义。论文的结语部分着重讨论了未来话语分ubuntu主义可能面临的一些挑战,以及本文对非洲教育工作者的启示。关键词:优分主义,道德哲学,个人主义。印染第6卷(2)2007页152-163

The bush mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is a multipurpose species Dahomey gap. Its fruits (even nonmatured) are systematically gathered for consumption and marketing. Few studies have been done on the ethnobotany and endogenous practices determining its conservation of the species in Benin. This study aims to produce a database on those aspects in Benin. Two hundred and sixty-three people from the six major socio-cultural groups were interviewed for ethnobotanical knowledge capitalization. Moreover, six hundred and twenty-six hectares of farmland belonging to two hundred and ten peasants were explored to characterize three hundred and thirty-three trees of I. Gabonensis for potential endogenous conservation factors. Twenty-five various uses were identified in rural construction (four per cent), in food (eight per cent), energetic (eight per cent), socio-cultural (twelve per cent) and therapeutic (sixty-eight per cent) ways. Global knowledge's levels vary significantly between socio-cultural groups (P < 0,0001). Global knowledge's uses also vary significantly (P < 0,0001) and knowledge of the socio-cultural groups varies significantly according to uses (P < 0,0001). In Benin, 49,25% of I gabonensis trees are well protected in the traditional agroforestry systems after their first fructification. Moreover, four factors influence significantly their conservation: (i) the parasitism level of fruits and trees (X2 = 116,57; P < 0,0001), (ii) the dA©partement, origin of peasants (X2 = 78,92; P < 0,0001), (iii) the principal agriculture of the peasant (X2 = 54,73; P < 0,0001) and (iv) the endogenous perception on the fruits 'ideotypes' produced by the trees (X2 = 4,48; P = 0,0343).
灌木芒果(Irvingia gabonensis)是一种多用途物种。它的果实(即使是未成熟的)被系统地收集起来供消费和销售。关于贝宁的民族植物学和内源做法的研究很少,确定了该物种的保护。这项研究的目的是在贝宁建立一个关于这些方面的数据库。来自六个主要社会文化群体的263人接受了民族植物学知识资本化的采访。此外,对属于210名农民的626公顷农田进行了探索,以表征333棵加蓬树的潜在内源保护因子。在农村建设(4%)、食品(8%)、能源(8%)、社会文化(12%)和治疗(68%)方面确定了25种不同的用途。全球知识水平在不同社会文化群体之间差异显著(P < 0.0001)。全球知识的使用也有显著差异(P < 0.0001),社会文化群体的知识根据使用也有显著差异(P < 0.0001)。在贝宁,49.25%的加蓬树在首次结果后在传统农林业系统中得到了很好的保护。结果表明:①果实和树木的寄生水平(X2 = 116,57;P < 0,0001), (ii) dA©部门,农民的起源(X2 = 78,92;P < 0,0001), (iii)农民的主要农业(X2 = 54,73;P < 0,0001)和(iv)树木产生的果实“理想型”的内源感知(X2 = 4,48;P = 0,0343)。

There are historical, institutional and cultural differences that influence teaching and learning in South African universities. There are also different beliefs about how relevance and responsiveness are constituted, and about the pedagogical principles that should apply in transferring knowledge (Council on Higher Education 2004: 101). In recognition of these differences, we argue in this article that an African educational discourse can make a significant contribution to teaching and learning in South African universities.

World and woe : a sociological reading of proverbs as an enduring therapy among the Yorubas 世界与悲哀:对谚语的社会学解读,作为约鲁巴人的持久疗法
Pub Date : 2008-05-15 DOI: 10.4314/INDILINGA.V6I1.26414
Busuyi Mekusi
Man, who inhabits the world of the living, has put in place various measures to guarantee a rewarding, stable, virile and blissful existence even as he interacts with the other elements that characterize his being. In spite of the conscious, concerted efforts man makes, unfolding realities portend, often times, various levels of negativity in form of failure, disappointment, diseases, death, and other life-taking devices. As a result, man has also devised different methods of depilator and consolation. One of these is the philosophic deployment of proverbs to either play-down a highly horrific situation or take a walk out of it. The emphasis in this paper is how proverbs are used in the Yoruba socio-cultural societies to therapeutically achieve stability, in all spheres, in a woe-ridden world, using relevant indexes. The investigation done in this paper is predicated on the sociological school of criticism which sees literature as a reflection of the society. However, submissions made in this paper could smack of those obtainable in other cultures.
人类,生活在生命的世界里,已经采取了各种措施来保证一个有益的、稳定的、阳刚的和幸福的存在,即使他与表征他存在的其他元素相互作用。尽管人类有意识地、协调一致地做出努力,但不断展开的现实往往预示着以失败、失望、疾病、死亡和其他夺去生命的手段形式出现的各种程度的消极情绪。因此,人类也发明了不同的脱毛和安慰方法。其中之一是对谚语的哲学部署,要么淡化一个非常可怕的情况,要么离开它。本文的重点是谚语如何在约鲁巴社会文化社会中使用,以治疗性地实现稳定,在所有领域,在一个充满悲伤的世界,使用相关指标。本文所做的调查是基于将文学视为社会反映的社会学批评学派。然而,本文中提交的内容可能与其他文化中的内容有些相似。

The interface between Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), cultural practices and mathematics is currently generating a great deal of interest among mathematics education researchers and practitioners alike. This article uses mathematical lenses to examine the cultural practice of dhava (cooperative work) among the Shangani people of southern Zimbabwe. The authors show how mathematics can be used to describe, understand and inform cultural phenomena while at the same time cultural practices can act as inspirational sources for the generation and examination of some mathematical skills and concepts. It is proposed here that such situations can actually be played out in the mathematics classroom to the benefit and enjoyment of the learner. In particular, the authors' claim that doing so can lead to increased appreciation by the learners of their own culture and self-identity, and of mathematics as a discipline as well.
本土知识系统(IKS)、文化实践和数学之间的界面目前引起了数学教育研究者和实践者的极大兴趣。这篇文章用数学的视角来考察津巴布韦南部尚加尼人的dhava(合作工作)文化实践。作者展示了如何使用数学来描述、理解和告知文化现象,同时文化实践可以作为一些数学技能和概念的产生和检验的灵感来源。在这里提出,这样的情况实际上可以在数学课堂上发挥出来,以使学习者受益和享受。特别是,作者声称这样做可以提高学习者对自己的文化和自我认同的欣赏,以及对数学作为一门学科的欣赏。

This article examines some African, Indian and Chinese patterns of energy healing in order to explicate common forms. All accept, as a given, the existence of a universalenergy to which everyone has access. All extol a form of healing energy and some form ofconscious breathwork, with relative emphases on ancestors, meditation and movement inAfrican, Indian and Chinese patterns respectively. Illness is viewed as a disruption orstagnation of energy patterns which need continual channeling, mobilisation, balancingand harmonisation for optimal health. Keywords : Energy healing. Indilinga Vol. 6 (2) 2007 pp. 164-176
本文考察了一些非洲、印度和中国的能量治疗模式,以阐明常见的形式。所有人都承认,存在着一种人人都能接触到的普遍能量。它们都颂扬某种形式的疗愈能量和某种形式的有意识呼吸,并分别以非洲、印度和中国的模式相对强调祖先、冥想和运动。疾病被视为能量模式的中断或停滞,需要持续的疏导、动员、平衡和协调才能达到最佳健康状态。关键词:能量治疗;印染第6卷(2)2007页164-176

Educating healers of the indigenous health care category has long been mixed with confusing options in the collaborative processes and strategies. This article examines the mobilization of healers in Nigeria with educational package of a university which contrasts the originality and professionalism of indigenous knowledge and competency. It argues that helping healers to come to terms with scientific jargons may be good, but fashioning them in the way of western system of plant science and pharmacopeia that is unaligned with their cultural root will endanger them rather than produce results. The paper suggests that caution is necessary and calls for a positive bridge between sources of empowerment in a way that would assist the practitioners in their endogenous expert roles. Keywords : Herbal resources, healers, health care, Nigeria-centrism. Indilinga Vol. 5 (1) 2006: pp. 32-50
长期以来,教育土著保健类别的治疗师与协作过程和战略中令人困惑的选择混合在一起。本文考察了尼日利亚的治疗师动员与一所大学的教育方案,这对比了土著知识和能力的原创性和专业性。它认为,帮助治疗师接受科学术语可能是好的,但是用西方的植物科学和药典体系的方式来塑造它们,这与他们的文化根源不一致,将危及他们,而不是产生结果。这篇论文提出,谨慎是必要的,并呼吁在授权来源之间建立一个积极的桥梁,以帮助实践者发挥其内生专家的作用。关键词:草药资源,治疗师,医疗保健,尼日利亚中心主义印染卷5 (1)2006:pp. 32-50
